Camping Kitchen


I've never been one to enjoy being uncomfortable, so we take a few luxuries on our trips. The main one is an elaborate kitchen setup. As elaborate as it looks, it takes literally 21 seconds to set it up since everything fits into three cases.

A close up of the sink shows the thermos which is filled with hot water. It will stay very hot all day long and holds about a quart of water. Nice for washing hands and for doing dishes. The white pan can be taken out to dump the waste water and the entire pelican case holds any spills, has a mirror for shaving or washing at night.

The thermos had a pump at the top which when pushed, pumped air in and water came out, it is a caraf made for coffee. Buy running a tube down to a foot pump, you can operate it hands free.
Here is the foot pump which is the pump that came with the caraf, mounted to a disk to keep it steady.

Here is the whole setup in action, paper towel holder under the sink and a trash bag hangs on the side. A pouch hangs in front of the stove holding all the cooking tools.
Light is provided by an LED "ring of light" which has 24 LED's and works great, there is also a spot light LED below that to point to a cooler or anywhere nearby that you need light. I find that the LED's don't attract bugs like other lamps or lanterns. Plus these don't throw light in all other directions blinding others or bothering other campers at other campsites.
